👋🏼 About us
Hi y’all! We’re Adam, Kathryn, and Kona, an adventurous married couple (+ pup!) living on the road in our self-converted sprinter van! You can often find us driving all around the US and Canada, scoping out the best coffee shops, eating tacos and ice cream (we're a 5+ taco and 2+ scoop household), and enjoying nature.
We help travelers spend less time (and stress!) planning their trip and more time enjoying it! Our detailed travel guides, KZbin videos, and travel resources share the must-visit local eats, popular and off the beaten path sights, and tons of tips to make planning your next adventure a whole lot easier.
Note: We’ve linked a handful of items so you can see exactly which products we take with us.

You are inspiring a generation to get outside as you educate us on the fantastic locations in the US to explore and experience. I'll keep watching (and following) your videos if you keep making them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Don't forget to keep reminding us of the best way to support you in these experiences.

Thanks Doug! The best way to support is to just watch, comment, and thumbs up! It helps us a ton!

[@jeannespiess7499]

Great video! We live about 100 miles south of Duluth, so were excited to hear you pick the North Shore in a few categories. We LOVE it 'up' there and your video reminds us not to take it for granted. We have really enjoyed watching your adventures this year. Keep up the good work!

That was awesome! So, so fun to recap the year. I totally feel like I've been right there with you the whole time and it was cool to see a little Minnesota representation! Adam, I couldn't agree more about the tacos!!! I've literally been raving about those for over a decade now and to know they brought you so much joy as well just brings a smile to my face. It's been awesome following your journey this full year and it's hard to believe 2022 is around the corner. I hope you have a super relaxing holidays and recharge and relax as much as possible. Cheers to an amazing year!!!

It must have been so hard to pick your favs! You have truly shown what an amazingly gorgeous and diverse country we live in! I have enjoyed your journeys so much from this side of the screen. Oh, but I think I missed Kona's top picks....I bet she had some favorite hikes; I'm sure her least favorite was the one with the ladders (I think) where Adam had to carry her. Have a very merry Christmas, guys! Looking forward to all the 2022 adventures!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It was tough! I spent weeks going back and forth haha! Kona says that her favorite was Mount Elbert, but definitely agree her least was the one with the ladders haha

Thank you so much, take a break and relax and regroup. Merry Christmas.... and until next time... Travel Safe.

I absolutely love all of your videos! Many of the places you have been to, I have been to as well, but for those I have not been to, you have provided a lot of new ideas for future travels. As a recent retiree, my goal is to get to as many National Parks as possible (I have 33 under my belt) and Acadia is one of them I desperately want to see, so I really loved that video. Thank you for sharing your travels with the KZbin community and I wish you much success as you focus on A+K full time. Happy Holidays!

That is awesome! He is going to be an adventurer in no time!

[@suzanneaydelotte801]

I loved this one! So creative with the hot chocolate! It was so fun hearing your favorites and I LOVED the bloopers at the end…I was smiling the whole time while watching them! Thanks for a great year of beautiful places! I can’t wait to see all your travels in 2022 and hope to join you on at least one!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We sure hope you can join us too! ❤️

Merry Christmas Adam + Kathryn and Kona. I gotta say that of all the KZbinrs that I have subscribed to you guys are part of my top two. Kara and Nate are right there with you, and that is pretty good company to be in. So many full timers focus on so much on RV or van tips, show way too much driving footage and/or talk too much about campsites and campgrounds. You are actually adventurers and seeing Kathryn expanding her comfort zone this year has been great to watch. My husband and I are 60ish and bought a used class A last year. We considered selling the home we built ourselves and going full time but have decided that is not for us, as we want a home base, at least for now. Like you, we love our National Parks and have visited many over the years. There are many more on my bucket list and we will be taking long trips as time allows and when retirement comes in a couple of years they will be more frequent. I am sure I will be revisiting your videos for tips on what to see and do as we set out on our own adventures. Who knows, maybe someday we will meet up along the trail. Stay safe and know we are all waiting, not too patiently, for next years adventures. P.S. Kathryn: Do not consider yourself a wimp for the pain and your reaction to it at Mammoth Cave. I have shared your experience with my son-in-law who had a severe hand injury that was full of debris a couple of years ago. He is 6' 6" and nobody's wimp. Upon hearing of your injury and what you went through he had the utmost sympathy for you. He was pretty impressed with how you handled it.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for following along! We are honored to be towards the top of your list! And we are glad you enjoy the exploring aspect of our videos. We try to make our videos more about the places than the van, so that even those who aren't in a van or RV can find them helpful! Big congrats on getting a RV...y'all will have SO many amazing adventures in it. It's really nice to have a home on wheels when traveling, it just makes it all much more comfortable! I appreciate his sympathy on the hand! I learned that palms are NOT a fun spot to get injured. Even 6 weeks later I still have some struggles with it. The debris only made it worse 😖😖. We look forward to many more adventures next year. It should be the BEST year yet!

FLY HIGH DULUTH! 😉 So glad to see Duluth on a list because that's where we're moving soon (refuge city, baby). I took so many notes from this video, so excited to try so many of these places! Happy holidays and can't wait to see where 2022 takes you, guys ❤

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Big congrats on your move! We really enjoyed Duluth, even on a foggy day!

[@ahhitskatie9094]

You guys saw so many places and ate so many delicious foods! Been so fun to watch you both grow from working full time while running your channel when you could, to now being full time KZbinrs. You both put in so much work to your channel and website. You three (of course, have to include Kona!) seriously make the best videos!! Here’s to 1,000,000 followers in 2022! 👏❤️🤩

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for all of your support! It was a wild year and lots of changes, but all for the better and we cannot wait for 2022! Probably not 1,000,000, but hopefully take off a 0 and we can make that happen 😜

[@ericalarsson9112]

I’ll be watching all of your videos over Xmas break. You guys cover everything. Thanks for the insight and entertainment. ❤️

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@MikeGetsLost]

I love stats and bloopers so this was a win. So glad you guys enjoyed New England so much, fun to see you visited most of the spots I love here. The only thing missing was some kind of crazy Walmart parking lot story :)

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Lol! Thankfully we don't have any. Otherwise we would have no where to sleep lol!

[@juststaypeachy]

My husband and I love watching your videos! You helped plan our honeymoon that we took out west this past September 😂. Happy New Year and we look forward to watching you in 2022!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Congrats on your marriage! Thank you so much for watching!

[@gregprince2523]

Merry Christmas Guys!!! Isn't it just to hard to pick the best of this big beautiful country!!!!! They're all good in their differences! You guys are killin it! May your best day in 2021 be your worst day in 2022!!! Onward and upward I say!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Merry Christmas Greg! It was very hard to pick, so much diverse scenery in the US! And we love "may your best day in 2021 be your worst day in 2022!"

[@kathleenhanzel8775]

Yay! Durango and the San Juan’s are the best and my home! Happy Holidays and look forward to seeing your adventures next year!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We LOVE it there so much! What an awesome home!

[@GISJohnMaine]

Thanks for sharing your adventures with all of us. Thirty years ago, I took a year off and traveled across the country by myself. I have a map that I kept, showing all the roads I traveled and places I visited, just like the map you have at the beginning of the video. When you look at that map, you realize how many places in our country that you missed. This is an amazing place that we live in. I've been able to fill in a few more places on my map since then, but I still have a lot places to see. I've really enjoyed traveling about with you guys this year as it reminded me of my time on the road. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and we all look forward to seeing more adventures next year.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

There is SO much to see in the US, it's crazy! We are so glad we have this giant backyard to explore for the rest of our lives. What has been your favorite place you have been to?

[@GISJohnMaine]

@@AdventuresofAplusK That's a difficult question. I've got to break that into two parts. The first is from my adventure 30 years ago and I can't name just one, so how about three! I have two that occurred during the full fall foliage out west. The first time I saw the Grand Tetons on a cold crisp late September morning at sunrise along the Snake River, with all the color in the trees and the amazing snow capped Tetons in the background. The second one was the first time I saw the Grand Canyon. In all the pictures I had seen prior, it appeared to be a very dry place. I actually visited the North Rim first and I thought I was driving through a forest, just like here in New England. Then bam, the canyon appeared and it wasn't what I expected. Number 3 was when I camped on top of a mountain in the northeast corner of Olympic National Park. I was alone and had wild deer grazing within feet of my camp. I also sat high on a cliff and watched coyotes (it might have been wolves - too far away to tell) walking along a game trail below me and was glad I was high above them... Honorable mentions are: camping on a mountain in northern California watching the thunder storms roll by Mt Shasta to the south with the moon lighting up the whole seen. A second one was watching the sun set on the beach at La Push Washington. The color was amazing.. More recently, traveling through and around Glacier National Park with my wife on our 25th anniversary in 2019. So many more places and so many more places to see. Also, I loved the San Juan Mountains too. Thought to myself, this must be what the Swiss Alps looks like... Hope you make it back to Northern New England again some day.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We know the whole can't name one thing! All of those sound amazing! We would love to visit the Tetons in the fall sometime. And the Olympic Peninsula is one of our favorite places ever, as is Glacier National Park. We definitely want to make it back to New England. We want to venture up to Nova Scotia someday, so we can't wait to make it back up that way.

[@statpadr]

Have a great holiday you two ! We're looking forward to seeing where your adventures take you in 2022. You did a great job on your channel this year, you should be super proud !! High-fives from Canada !!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much! We hope to make it Canada next year! 🙌🏼

[@statpadr]

@@AdventuresofAplusK We would love to have you ! I really missed seeing all those fun American licence plates this past summer. Saw a few here and there, but not nearly enough. Merry Christmas !!

[@sharonswink3234]

I loved this recap and to hear your favorite places! I loved all the bloopers at the end. I found you when looking up videos for the Cumberland Gap Historic National Park and I am still trying to watch all your videos, they are a treat when I am walking the treadmill in the morning. I can not wait to hear about all your 2022 adventures! Happy Exploring!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Cumberland Gap would've probably been in the running for best surprise in 2020! Thank you for watching!

[@sarahn.4775]

I had such a fun year watching your videos and traveling virtually! Thank you for putting out such great content! Also, the bloopers made me laugh.😄 Merry Christmas A+K!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Merry Christmas Sarah! Thank you for following along!

[@ijblessjourney]

Loved the video! You both always do such an authentic fun to watch video, I can’t wait for 2022. Enjoy the holidays with family and we look forward to more of your videos in the near future. May God continue to bless you both.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for the kind words! We hope you have a great holiday!

[@ijblessjourney]

@@AdventuresofAplusK by the way I also thought one of you was going to pick the lobster roll. I never had one but our daughter in law is from that region and she speaks highly of the lobster rolls. Take care!
